My sister took me for my birthday yesterday. And it was really fun and I liked it, but our Dimitri and anya had like no chemistry at all. You didn't think they're was a live story going on until like a bunch through the second act. It could be a number of things, an off day, tired, I think they were almost at the end of their stay, 🤷‍♀️ just a bummer. I honestly in ours thought she had more chemistry with gleb. So I wasn't too see it again for contrast!

Every change they made to the movie is so good. It's like the horse's name was always Romeo and they were just waiting to tell us.

[@johndavidtibbetts7320]

Ditching Rasputin was the best decision that led to every other great decision in this play. The songwriters who worked on the movie and then made this HATED Rasputin and the whole idea of putting supernatural elements in a story that didn't need it. They didn't even write In The Dark Of The Night, instead handing that assignment to one of the Bat Out Of Hell guys. You can FEEL the millstone being lifted from this story as they allow themselves to tell this story as it needs to be told

This entire clip takes me back. I was the lead spot in my high school's production of "The Pajama Game." I followed Kate (Rochelle Coyle) First show I'd ever crewed for, and I got the lead. To this day, I don't know how. When Anya moves the gloves, man that must have been debated forever. Mr. Boyle, the director and stagecraft teacher at Sumner High School, debated with Rochelle and Ian Beck and Ian Russell on where to put the jacket in one scene. I had to turn off the spot, it took so long. 😂

I think they changed it for the musical to emphasize how much time has passed. Its a looong trip to Paris and poor Anya is being bombarded with so much new information, so it makes sense that she'd sometimes be enthusiastic and excited, and other times be frustrated and burned out.
